Struct multiboot2::builder::BoxedDst

pub struct BoxedDst<T: ?Sized> { /* private fields */ }

A helper type to create boxed DST, i.e., tags with a dynamic size for the builder. This is tricky in Rust. This type behaves similar to the regular Box type except that it ensure the same layout is used for the (explicit) allocation and the (implicit) deallocation of memory. Otherwise, I didn’t find any way to figure out the right layout for a DST. Miri always reported issues that the deallocation used a wrong layout.

Technically, I’m certain this code is memory safe. But with this type, I also can convince miri that it is.

Trait Implementations

impl<T: Debug + ?Sized> Debug for BoxedDst<T>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T: ?Sized> Deref for BoxedDst<T>

type Target = T

The resulting type after dereferencing.

fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target

Dereferences the value.

impl<T: ?Sized> Drop for BoxedDst<T>

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl<T: ?Sized + PartialEq> PartialEq for BoxedDst<T>

fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
